As the automotive industry accelerates toward the era of intelligent driving, LiDAR has emerged from technical debates to establish itself as an indispensable component in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). Among the rising stars in this sector, SEYOND (02665) stands out as a first-tier LiDAR company with multi-dimensional advantages in product diversity, client base, and application scenarios. Notably, SEYOND is the only global LiDAR firm with mass-production experience in both high-performance 1550nm solutions for L3+ autonomous driving and cost-effective 905nm products.
The 1550nm technology holds significant advantages in detection range and safety redundancy. As industry competition shifts from cost-efficiency to performance, SEYOND's first-mover advantage and mass-production capabilities in this segment position it for substantial benefits. Investors recognized this potential during its Hong Kong exchange debut, driving shares up 73.1% to over HK$17, reflecting strong market confidence in SEYOND's comprehensive technological roadmap and future prospects.
SEYOND's dual-track strategy—combining mature 905nm solutions with cutting-edge 1550nm technology—aligns perfectly with industry trends. Its Falcon series (1550nm) has already delivered over 600,000 units for NIO vehicles, while the cost-sensitive Sparrow series (905nm/940nm) addresses mass-market ADAS demand. This balanced approach allows SEYOND to capture immediate market opportunities while preparing for future high-performance requirements.
Beyond automotive applications, SEYOND is pioneering LiDAR adoption in robotics and smart infrastructure, securing major contracts in autonomous logistics, smart cities, and industrial automation. Its Hummingbird D1 pure-solid-state LiDAR caters specifically to robotic applications. With 14+ OEM and autonomous driving partners, plus expanding non-automotive revenue (6.7% of total in 2024's first five months), SEYOND is building multiple growth engines.
As the only listed LiDAR player with dual-wavelength mass-production capabilities, SEYOND combines short-term ADAS momentum through Sparrow with long-term autonomous driving potential via Falcon. Its diversified business matrix and technological leadership suggest sustained growth, making the company's post-IPO market performance particularly noteworthy for investors tracking the smart mobility revolution.
